Leather backpacks
Our leather backpacks pair a modern and premium look with effortless organisation options. They are made with high-quality, soft-touch materials and are finished with delicate details. A timeless and sophisticated addition to any look.
Classic leather, cut for right now
Some bags are chosen for what they do. A leather backpack is chosen for what it does and how it feels doing it. There is a weight to good leather, a softness in the hand, and a way of settling into daily use that makes a bag feel like yours after a few months rather than something off a shelf.
Made in cowhide leather
Every backpack in this range is made in cowhide leather. Genuine leather softens as you use it, moulds gently to how you carry, and develops a surface with some history to it. Small marks become part of the character rather than something to worry about, which is why a good leather bag tends to be kept rather than replaced.
Classic black, and something warmer
Black leather is the mainstay here, and there is a good reason for that. A black leather backpack goes with every wardrobe, suits formal and relaxed settings alike, and carries the marks of daily use far more gracefully than lighter shades. It is the choice you make when you want one bag to cover everything.
For anyone after a little more warmth, the Image Biz Leather Backpack also comes in Ruby Wine, a deep burgundy that keeps the same understated shape while offering something less expected.
Two designs, two different wearers
Image Biz Leather Backpack
Designed with women in mind, the Image Biz Leather Backpack is the most compact option at 38.5 x 26 x 13.5 cm and 16 litres. Inside you will find a key hanger, elastic loops and a tablet pocket that takes screens up to 10.5 inches, with four front pockets and a side pocket for everything you reach for often. It also comes with a leather personalisation tag, and pairs neatly with an Image suitcase if you like your travel set to match.
Pro-Dlx Leather Backpack
The Pro-Dlx Leather Backpack is our business design, available in two sizes at 40 x 28 x 14 cm and 42 x 29 x 15 cm, with 17 litres in the larger. It adds an RFID-protected pocket that shields your cards against skimming, along with a document holder and a See-Thru mesh pocket so smaller items stay findable. Practical detail, quietly handled.
Both weigh just 1.2 kg empty, so the bag itself never becomes the heavy part of your load. Both have ergonomic shoulder straps, a top handle and a bottle holder, because a leather backpack still has to work on a Tuesday morning.
Ready for the trip, not just the commute
Each backpack has a smart sleeve on the back that slides straight onto a suitcase handle.It sounds minor until you are running for a connection: no bag sliding off your shoulder, no juggling at the gate, no wheeling one thing while carrying another. If you travel for work, it is the feature you will use most and think about least.

Room for your laptop
Each backpack takes a laptop comfortably, in 14.1-inch or 15.6-inch sizes depending on the machine you use. If the laptop compartment is your first priority and you are open on material, you will find considerably more choice in our full range of laptop backpack.

Make it yours
Every leather backpack here can be personalised. Adding your initials turns a smart bag into something unmistakably yours, and makes it far easier to pick out in a room full of similar ones. It is a thoughtful gift too, particularly for a new job or a graduation. Find out more about our backpack personalisation service.

FAQ
Which size leather backpack should I choose?
Start with your laptop. The 14.1-inch designs suit most standard work machines and keep the overall bag slim, which matters on a crowded train. The 15.6-inch option takes a larger screen and offers 17 litres of space, so it is the one to choose if you carry more than a laptop and a notebook. For a smaller everyday bag, the Image Biz Leather Backpack is the most compact at 38.5 x 26 x 13.5 cm and 16 litres. If you are between sizes, check your laptop's width and depth rather than relying on the screen measurement alone.
Do you have leather backpacks for women and for men?
Yes, and the two designs are shaped rather differently. The Image Biz Leather Backpack is designed with women in mind, with the most compact silhouette in the range, refined detailing and a colour choice of black or Ruby Wine. The Pro-Dlx Leather Backpack is our business design, available in two sizes and offering a little more capacity along with an RFID-protected pocket. Neither is restrictive, so choose whichever shape and size suits how you carry rather than the label. You can also browse our wider backpacks for women and backpacks for men collections.
What colours do your leather backpacks come in?
Black is the mainstay of the range, and for good reason. A black leather backpack works with every wardrobe, suits formal and casual settings alike, and wears the marks of daily use far more gracefully than lighter shades. Alongside black, the Image Biz Leather Backpack is available in Ruby Wine, a deep burgundy that offers a little more warmth while keeping the same understated shape. Colours can vary as new styles join the range, so it is worth checking the products above for the current selection.
Which leather backpack has RFID protection?
The Pro-Dlx Leather Backpack includes an RFID-protected pocket, which places blocking material between the outer layer and the internal lining to shield contactless cards and passports from skimming. It is a small reassurance that matters more in crowded places and unfamiliar cities. The pocket sits alongside a document holder and a See-Thru mesh pocket, so smaller items stay findable rather than sinking to the bottom. If RFID protection is important to you, check the specifications on each product page before ordering, as it is not fitted across every design in the range.
Can I attach a leather backpack to my suitcase?
Yes. Every leather backpack in this range has a smart sleeve on the back panel, which slides straight over the pull handle of a suitcase. It keeps the backpack steady while you walk through the terminal, so you are not balancing a bag on one shoulder and steering a case with the other hand. It is one of those details you stop noticing precisely because it works. Both designs also have a top handle if you would rather carry the bag by hand for short distances.
Will a leather backpack mark with daily use?
Leather picks up small marks with use, and that is part of how it ages rather than a fault. The surface softens where it moves against your coat and settles into the way you carry, which is why a leather backpack looks more like yours after a year than it did on day one. Black hides everyday marks particularly well. Wiping the surface occasionally with a soft cloth keeps it looking its best, Always follow the care instructions supplied with your bag, as these are specific to the finish used.
